Comments on Installing Apache2 With PHP5 And MySQL Support On Debian Lenny (LAMP)

Must say I had pretty tough time setting phpmyadmin according to his guide. Kept getting 404 error and server couldent find it until I did that:

cp /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/phpmyadmin

and then

a2ensite phpmyadmin

then reloading and restarting apache and it finally works. No idea what caused problems but it turned out to be only way to solve it.

I didnt have that problem at all, perhaps something you already had installed?

I also had some issues.  Turns out the phpmyadmin install didn't make any include reference to /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf on install (Possible that I didn't select to use apache2 as the web server to use during install, but I thought I did).  Anyway, to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf I simply added:

Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

And everything seems to work just fine.

This worked for me as well...thx Eyesnuke

Followed each step in the guide and was done and working in a few minutes. No issues.

Congratulations!  For once a set of notes that were lear and worked perfectly first time. Thank you

These clear instructions worked perfectly with good debian sources. very helpful, especially configuring phpmyadmin after installation.

Great post.  I'm on Debian 6.0.2.1 and it worked perfectly.  Thanks for the help.

the best way to fix PHPMYADMIN not appearing on DEBIAN is to do the following:

first do: nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf 

then at the very end line add: Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

then restart apache2: service apache2 restart

and it should be good :)
